Borrowing Privileges for UMD Faculty and Staff

Please bring items for checkout to the Circulation desk, located on the first floor of the Library. Your U Card is your borrowing card, but you may use any photo ID to check out materials.

Renewals

For your convenience, we will automatically renew loans of three days or longer until items reach their end renewal date. Regular books checked out to faculty or staff members reach their end renewal date two years after checkout. Other materials have shorter renewal terms. You must return materials by the final due date.

Materials loaned for shorter periods, such as study rooms or reserve items, do not have the autorenewal feature.

You may renew materials in the following ways:

in person at the Circulation desk

by calling 218-726-6120 during hours when the library is open, and

online by using "My Account"—you must have a UMD Internet username and password to renew materials online

You will not be able to renew a borrowed item if another user has requested it.

The length of time during which an item may be renewed is limited. See a Circulation staff member if you encounter any difficulty renewing materials.

Interlibrary Loan Renewals

To request renewal of materials borrowed from libraries other than those in the University of Minnesota system, log in to your Interlibrary Loan ILLiad) account, and choose "renewal" on the left.

Late?

If books or journals become more than 30 days overdue, you will be billed a replacement charge of $100 plus a processing fee of $15. Items on short-term loan will be billed as lost even before they become 30 days overdue. Faculty members and staff of UMD do not accrue overdue fines.
